Need help "perfecting" script to delete drops and dups

I have been trying for a decade to perfect a script which can reliably and automatically detect and remove dropped frames, and also automatically fix the duplicates which usually follow the drops. This drop/dup pattern happens at some point in almost every streaming video, and is also often seen in screen captures. It is an incredibly common problem.

I need help with three things:

1. TDecimate is not reliable in this application (this is the main problem)
2. A minor problem: mt_merge does not provide identical video to the original when merged with pure white. The script works despite this flaw, but I'd like to understand how to fix it.
3. I cannot multi-thread the script because of TDecimate

Any help would be appreciated. At this point, I have given up. The script is still useful as written, but it will fail to fix quite a few drops and dups, all because of TDecimate's failures.

However, it is tantalizingly close to being an incredibly useful script.

--------------------------
For those interested in helping, here is the background, followed by my current script.

I first posted my script in 2011: Automatically fix dups followed (eventually) by drops , and then again a few weeks ago: Dropped frames

When I answered the OP a few weeks ago I thought initially that the main problem was that I wasn't detecting drops very well, but after posting about this (Script for reliably detecting dropped frames) I found out the my technique is actually quite good. There is no need to revisit my detection scheme.

The REAL problem is TDecimate. If a frame drop happen on a Cycle boundary (where "Cycle" is the group of frames TDecimate works on at one time), it fails. The reason for this is that Didée's original brilliant idea requires that the drop and the dup happen within a TDecimate "Cycle."

Perhaps I need to come up with a different approach, or perhaps there is a way to tweak Didée's idea.

The script is also very slow, but does not play nice with MT (also a TDecimate problem), so I can't use that technique to make it play faster. Because it is so slow, the idea of running TDecimate three times with different parameters and then "voting" on the best result is not going to work because the script speed will be measure in seconds per frame instead of frames per second.

BTW, I used my "really good" MVTools2 technique for creating the intermediate frames, so when a replacement is made it is usually undetectable. That is why there are so many lines of code preceding the MFlowFPS call.

I also tried SVP, and it does work and it is faster, even without MT, so I might go with that if and when I figure out a replacement or a fix for TDecimate. I have left that commented out code in the script.

Things I have tried

I have tried FDecimate and it doesn't work. I have tried TDecimate using its 2-pass approach which I thought would work for sure, but it does not. I have also tried TDecimate's mode 0, mode 1, mode 2, and mode 7.

I am thinking about playing around with Requestlinear settings, and also am wondering if I can use the metrics from FrameDiff to create my own decimation.

I am running AVISynth+ 3.7.0 and am using pinterf's 2/22/2021 compile of TIVTC (which includes TDecimate).

The comments at the beginning of the script describe how it works. If anyone has any ideas about how to fix it, let me know. The script is still partially hard-wired for 59.94 fps, but I will clean that up and turn it into an AVSI if I ever get the problems solved.

Here are links to two really tiny test videos. The first is artificial video (just a title scrolling horizontally) and the other is real video with multiple short scenes chosen for their different types of motion. I used my NLE to create a drop, followed by a dup within 1 to 12 frames later. The real video link also includes a text file which gives you the frame numbers where I created a drop, and also the frame numbers for the dups I inserted.

# Modified by John Meyer on June 29, 2011
# Further modification on June 8, 2013
# Tdecimate modifications on October 26, 2021
#
# 1. Create interpolated frames a 2x original frame rate using MVTools2.
# 2. Detect jumps in the original 1x video.
# 3. Create white mask at each jump point; black mask for all other frames.
# 4. Repeat each frame of original video.
# 5. For each frame in double-frame video, use a mask to "choose" between that original video, or the motion estimated video
# 6. Decimate exactly 50% to get back to original frame rate. 
#
# This decimation removes the dup frames that existed in the original video and also removes the dups created by 
# repeating each frame of original video.
# However, at each point where motion-estimated frame was inserted, no decimation occurs. 
# Thus, if dups=drops, all dups in the original video will be removed and the drop will be filled. 
# On the other hand, if no drops or dups occur, then no motion estimation appears in the final result, and the decimation 
# merely gets back to original, unchanged video.

It looks like "video" white is used, ie., Y=235; not Y=255
Same for "black" . Y=16, not Y=255

Code:
global source=AVISource("E:\fs.avi").ConvertToYV12.killaudio()

global BlackFrame = BlankClip( source, Color=$000000 )
global WhiteFrame = BlankClip( source, Color=$FFFFFF )
You can use expr("255", "128", "128") to make it full white in 8bit YUV or coloryuv(preset="TV->PC") , not sure which is faster, probably expr .

Thanks for that. I started to try out your suggestion by adding a levels statement (e.g., levels(255,1,255,255,255)) when all of a sudden the script wouldn't work. After ten wasted minutes I decided to re-boot (Win XP 32-bit). The script started working again (with the problems reported above, of course).

This means I am chasing memory leak problems as well.

I like AVISynth and I appreciate open source, but it sure can be fragile at times.

Oh yes, the levels(255,1,255,255,255) and levels(0,1,0,0,0) statements did not fix the problem.

Code:
global BlackFrame = BlankClip( source, Color=$000000 ).levels(0,1,0,0,0)
global WhiteFrame = BlankClip( source, Color=$FFFFFF ).levels(255,1,255,255,255)
TDecimate, with display=true still had non-zero metrics for the dups created by the
Code:
interleave(source,source).mt_merge(double,themask,luma=true,U=3,V=3)
statement. If I change that to just interleave(source,source), without the mt_merge, TDecimate shows 0.00 for the dups, as it should.

If I end up having to create my own decimation workflow outside of AVISynth, exporting metrics and then importing a decimation override file, it will be much more important to have these metrics be zero.

For the mask part, if you wanted to use levels, it would be this for 8bit YUV

Code:
BlackFrame = BlankClip( source, Color=$000000 ).levels(16,1,235,0,255,false)
WhiteFrame = BlankClip( source, Color=$FFFFFF ).levels(16,1,235,16,235,false)

I completely changed the detection logic not only because his wasn't very good, but also because there was no way to display the detection metrics. If you can't display them, you can't tune the script.

I've shut down for the day, but I'll try that tomorrow. I obviously took your advice the wrong way around. (255 instead of 235, etc.)

I had problems too with TDecimate. To avoid drops I do real-fps *3 video, and TDecimate just sometimes drops non-duplicate frame when duplicate is just next one.

There is also this Doggie-Doo mod of Didee / JohnM script[FillMissing]:- https://github.com/Dogway/Avisynth-S...llMissing.avsi

As well as JKyle mod [with wrong black/white frame colors]:- https://forum.doom9.org/showthread.p...24#post1947624

EDIT: Doggy uses Color_YUV=$000000, and Color_YUV=$FFFFFF which are also a bit wrong,
should be (for 8 bit ONLY)
Black = BlankClip( source, Color_yuv=$008080 )
White = BlankClip( source, Color_yuv=$FF8080)

[color_YUV AVS+ only]

Maybe use (where masktools 2 used already)
Black=source.mt_lut("0")
White=black.mt_Invert() # OK for HBD, eg 16 bit Y becomes $FFFF, not $FF00 (FULL WHITE required for Mt_merge mask).

This is the fastest, least overhead method to generate a black or white YUV "blankclip" with the "source" characteristics - compared to expr, levels, coloryuv, mt_lut

May be for 8-bit only, but did you see this,

And its only really done the once, not at every frame so speed hardly matters at all.

If your mask is $FFFFFF you can set luma=false which might be faster

Cheers Doggggy, did not know what that one was for.

EDIT: Luma=false = default.
Quote:
mt_merge
bool luma = false

luma is a special mode, where only the the first plane (luma or red plane) of the mask is used to process all three channels.
Note: when luma=true, it forces chroma processing (chroma="process" or u=3, v=3).

Dog,
this defo dont look right to me,
Code:
    #This function returns a white clip whenever a big jump is detected; otherwise a black clip is returned
    #Each YDiff must eliminate Ydiff=0 (duplicate) from moving average
    BWMask = ScriptClip("
            YDif1 = YDifferenceFromPrevious(src8,2)
            YDif1 = YDif1 < 0.2 ? YDifferenceFromPrevious(src8,3)  : YDif1

            YDif2 = YDifferenceFromPrevious(src8,1)
            YDif2 = YDif2 < 0.2 ? YDifferenceFromPrevious(src8,2)  : YDif2

            YDif3 = YDifferenceFromPrevious(src8,-1)
            YDif3 = YDif3 < 0.2 ? YDifferenceFromPrevious(src8,-2) : YDif3

            YDif4 = YDifferenceFromPrevious(src8,-2)
            YDif4 = YDif4 < 0.2 ? YDifferenceFromPrevious(src8,-3) : YDif4

            YDiff = ((YDif1 + YDif2 + YDif3 + YDif4) / 4.0 ) / (YDifferenceFromPrevious(src8,) + 0.01) <= JumpThresh ? \
                                                                                                        source.White : \
                                                                                                        source.Black   \
            ",args="src8,JumpThresh,Black,White")
I'm gonna steal some of that, but with some changes.
what is source.White and Source.Black, Source not visible inside scriptclip, and source.White dont make a lot of sense (to me).
What is assign to YDiff supposed to do, and why do you just return Last, ie src8 of input.

Good dog, now that is worth stealing.

You need Pinterf's version of MVTools, v2.2.7 or later.

Code:
**v2.2.7 (20170421)
- fix: mt_edge 10,12,14 bits: clamp mask value from 65535 to 1023 (10 bits), 4095 (12 bits) and 16383 (14 bits)
- fix: mt_merge 10-16 bits + non mod-16 width + luma=true + 4:2:2 colorspace, correct right side pixels
- fix: mt_merge 8 bit clips: keep original pixels from clip1/2 when mask is exactly 0 or 255

For different bit depths blackclip(souce).expr should be faster than source.mt_lut; both will "flexible" in terms of bitdepth and correct on inverting
expr("0", "x", "x") for copy u,v and expr("0", "range_half", "range_half") for half uv at source bitdepth


Code:
source=("random 1080p source")

black = source.mt_lut("0").killaudio()
#black = blankclip(source).expr("0",  "range_half",  "range_half"").killaudio()
#black = blankclip(source).expr("0",  "x",  "x").killaudio()
#black = blankclip(source).mt_lut("0").killaudio()

black
8bit source benchmarks , fps, cpu%, no prefetch

(I believe expr is optimized with avx2 instructions, but it didn't make much of a difference on these benchmarks with SetMaxCPU("sse4.1") for this operation )

ffmpeg -i mt_lut.avs -f null NUL
285fps, 60%

ffmpeg -i blankclip_expr_uv_range_half.avs -f null NUL
1060fps, 25%

ffmpeg -i blankclip_expr_uv_copy.avs -f null NUL
1010fps, 25%

ffmpeg -i blankclip_mt_lut.avs -f null NUL
490fps, 22%

Eitherway, you're right it should have limited impact speedwise on John's specific script (it's not going to be the part that is the "bottleneck")

Do you need to copy the chroma channels for the mask ? Really you only need "Y" plane 100% white or 100% black. It might be slightly faster to do it in Y or Gray for the mask part, instead of YUV (discard instead of dragging the chroma channels along)
